Breaking Free

All my life, I've been told
I'm not supposed to know things
"Ask no questions, never stray,"
I've been told that I will suffer
Because I have done wrong
I was told
"You must do this EXACT!"
"Believe EXACTLY as i say!"
"There us NO OTHER WAY!"
I stood up and cried out
To free myself
I said "No! It is not like this!"
LIFE is suffering,
There is no sin
The only thing you must do
Is live peacefully!
Feel compassion!
Follow YOUR true path!
And do so without harm �'�

[John the Baptist]

Has the sound of a recovering fundamentalist. Rigid orthodoxy can either make one submissive or ignite the search for better answers. This one sounds like the latter. Well done.
